CostBut, how much do these green products cost?

Officials said the standard towels cost around Rs. 6 each including the costs of procuring, washing, and handling.

On the other hand, the disposable towels cost only Rs. 4.75 per piece with no maintenance cost. The eco-friendly pillow covers cost up to Rs. 8, similar to the regular ones.

Western Railways said using the disposable products is cost-effective as well as more hygienic.

Other TrainsDisposable products to be introduced for other passengers too

Western Railways said over 2,300 disposable towels and pillow covers are being provided on the third Delhi-Mumbai Rajdhani Express per round trip. The train was introduced on 16 October.

Indian Railways would reportedly carry out more trials of the green towels and pillow covers, before introducing them for other trains.

The material used for the disposable products is biodegradable cotton.

Received positive response from 90% passengers

Western Railways Chief Public Relations Officer, Ravinder Bhakar, said: "Almost 90% of passengers on Rajdhani Express have given positive feedback. The rest have demanded more napkins but have not questioned the quality."
